I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at iStreamPlanet (Seattle, WA) in Aug 2018
Interview
- Initial phone interview with a recruiter. Discussed the team that they're looking to recruit for and my background.
- Online interview with an engineer, a little back and forth followed by a coding algorithm question
- On-Site interview consisting of 4 hour long one-on-one interviews with engineers. Two involved coding questions, the others were focused on technical design and background.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Pretty standard coding algorithm questions. Binary Tree, anagram solver, list searching, etc.
I applied online. The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at iStreamPlanet (New York, NY) in Jun 2017
Interview
First, there was a call with the recruiter. She then set up a call with a Director of Engineering at the company. This was mostly about him telling me what they do and the challenges that they were facing at the time. There wasn't any technical question. The recruiter then sent me a coding test. (Just one problem stated in a single line in an email, with one somewhat ambiguous test case expressed informally.) I asked some questions to clarify the problem and then sent a solution. A few days later I got a canned rejection email. No feedback or anything like that.
The recruiter seemed somewhat inexperienced. I had to nudge her multiple times to get response. The whole process seemed somewhat half-hearted.

A simple looking problem about counting the words in a sentence.
